What is a remote proxy in VMware Backup?

Remote Proxy is mandatory for backup environments where VMware hosts (ESXi & vCenter Server) are distributed across various locations, such as branch offices, and connected to the central Backup Server via WAN. In these scenarios, Remote Proxy ensures that remote hosts are effectively connected to the Backup Server, enabling reliable backups regardless of their location. You can install Remote Proxy on any machine that has access to the hypervisors. Watch this video for detailed information: How to Install Remote Proxy and Manage Remote Hypervisor Hosts
